@rdbase Going for Sean O'Malley for a KO/TKO huh? That's brave and I think I will tail that. @4.70, that is enough for me. Whenever I make it as a parlay I always lose midway or worst from the start. So I will pass on making a parlay on this event.
The Face-off was intense, Sterling was talking a lot but Sean was just silent. It scares me more when I see fighters who don't talk and just let their fist decide who will be the strongest.
This is going to be a fight that might become one of the unforgettable fights in UFC so let's not miss it. Hours remain before the fight begins. Can't wait.
Completely understand what you mean when you are scared to see a fighter being silent while somebody is being as loud Sterling was during the face-off. Just like when you see a pitbull and chihuahua encounter one another on the street. The pitbull just stands there looking at the smaller dog bark all it wants, knowing full well it can snap it in two whenever it wanted too. Don't know if we will still be calling Sean O'Malley the poodle after today @cabron  Did you hear during the press conference Suga Show has a hundred dollar bet with Sterling from instagram on whoever has the first takedown? This is a strategy of getting him to go for one then anticipating it with a counter punch. It could just be his chance at a knock out if Aljo falls for it. |

Sean O'Malley odds have not changed since and are still showing 2.90x for the ML when I placed my bet for this weekend.  I found it to be not as high as it was earlier in the week topping 3.10x on other sites. But with the price boost Sportsbet.io offers it comes out to be about the same. Still went with the walk-off KO by Sugah show.  There was the press conference last night that was late by around 15 minutes from the original start-time but it was well worth the wait if you want to watch it here: UFC 292: Pre-Fight Press Conferencehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWdN_7hqfk8 |

The bitcoin market really dumped alot since even when FTX was dragging it down when it's dirty business dealings got revealed. This is what everybody is saying is the cause of the recent price spike to the downward spiral: https://www.wsj.com/tech/behind-the-curtain-of-elon-musks-secretive-spacex-revenue-growth-and-rising-costs-2c828e2bThe very last paragraph where it states that SpaceX had sold it's bitcoin they had reported on their balance sheet a year ago is no longer holding it. This shouldn't matter but it seems to have rocked all of the cryptocurrency markets for one reason or another. |

You know it is the slow time in F1 competition when you have the drivers coming out with videos like this.  Max Verstappen Learns How to Drift | Feat Mad Mike"Formula 1 World Champion and Oracle Red Bull Racing Driver Max Verstappen, took on a lifelong ambition to learn to drive a drift car with the help of none other than professional drift driver and record-breaker ‘Mad’ Mike Whiddett."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtfutUHYfO8With Red Bull and Verstappen being so much ahead on the leaderboard, why not display your fun-side with some drifting. To show you are not having a care in the world during the summer break of your sport!  has said this is the 1st time that he likely drift and so I really think he enjoyed this so much, but upon seeing some video of him drifting he was with Daniel Ricciardo and that was 5 years ago, well the hilarious one was for him to knock out the very big hand of Horner when drifting, and surely this drifting thing he can surely use this to save his F1 car from getting into the gravel, just like what he did in this video, https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CRiaIyiAGRoI watched a short part of Verstappen drifting and destroying something with the rear of his car at the same time. It was really lovely to watch.  When I watched this video Ken Block came to my mind. He was such an amazing rally driver with wonderful stunts. It was a big joy to watch his great skills and control over the car. He died quite young at the age of 55 unfortunately. Rally is a really dangerous sport. I know Ken Block didn't crash in a rally car. But my point is that you just need to have insane reflexes to be competitive in this sport. This is like a common point for rally and F1. But it feels like your reflexes need to be a little stronger as for rally. Rally Race is insane as well and for sure you will be needing a lot of drifting in it with F1 it was like you will pretty much be needing to drift in going into that kind of race which is insane, but for sure Drifting is also needed in the little time with F1 when Max Verstappen save his Car from getting out into the gravel, with Drifting here is the video, https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CRiaIyiAGRoBut a Red Bull ended up on a roof in Oracle Red Bull Racing's latest commercial for the brand new track in Las Vegas with their promotional video released a couple of days ago. F1 Car Inside Casino?! | ¡Vamos, Vegas! feat. Checo Perez & Christian Hornerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoHEWwhhif8Looks like the team are still having fun during the summer break for the season without Verstappen in this one. For once! |

Did anyone watch the CSGO matches earlier from the Gamers8 tournament? Most of the series are 2-0 wins from the favorites, but the round differential is closer than the bookies suggest. I guess the single-elimination format of the tournament encourages the teams to perform like their careers are on the line. I also watched a bit of the playoff matches from the VCT Champions. Unexpected to see LOUD advance and send Fnatic down to the LB and PRX having a shaky start against FUT in the first half of the first map before taking over the series. China Qualifier will begin in a few hours. The matches are not that exciting yet though. It seems almost all the matches later will be one-sided leaning on the heavy favorites: Aster, IG, Xtreme, and Azure.
I agree the next round is where it gets interesting to watch since we'll potentially see a matchup between Aster vs XG and AR vs IG in the other bracket. Bet on all four of the Gamers8 CS:GO matches yesterday and the first two ended in the 2:0. I had a bet on both Navi&ENcE to end the same way but ended up losing the bets. Noticed while scrolling through the livestreams of the matches there was a another Gamers8 tournament but for StarCraft. Is this right? That old game that mostly had a heavy following in the Korean tournaments is making a comeback into the ESports Arena once more? Isn't the game 30 years old now from the old WarCraft days, am I right? |

The Marseille daily special was close to hitting, but Vitinha's goal was overturned during ET. Speaking of the Women's World Cup, today's daily special is the semi-finals match between England vs Australia. Both specials don't look that worth it when the match is close to a toss-up, and the deal breaker for me is the team totals because the current totals are so low (over/under 2). But I do have this single bet on the corners, even if it's a potentially low-scoring match I can still expect the total hitting at least 10 based on their previous results.  Thought the UEFA Champions league special won because it was during regular time and they had a 2-1 score but it went into extra time due to the being behind a goal on aggregates. Just checked and Vitinha didn't score prior to that goal being disallowed. Atleast the Womens World Cup match for your corners bet hit! @danherbias07 Yes thought they might delay the start of the NBA season due to the players who are taking part in this tournament are needing time rest before the regular season starts. |

Actually O'Malley's odds have risen to a whopping 3.10x when I last looked last night. Nobody is really putting much confidence in this guy to bring an upset. Did everybody forget how Sterling received the title in the first place? He is called the fake champion for years since he won the belt when Petr Yan did an illegal knee to a downed opponent. So many saw it wasn't a earned title. But from his fights since then, he has proven these nay-sayers wrong with I believe 3-4 title defenses since. There was a media day yesterday to get everybody hyped for the fights. But this to me was alot better to watch then hear the fighters just trash talking each other and thus not proving anything until they step into the octagon for Saturday's big UFC event. Welcome to The SUGA ERA | a Sean O'Malley Filmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvTvdA5uIaUBetter to wait for the press conference and weigh-ins later on today and tomorrow to get more of a feel of the fighters. |

If doppelganger is a person, then I think we have another Elon Musk in Mars. Funny how this Yelon Ma can't speak English and yet look so similar like Elon Musk, he is on Tiktok entertaining people everyday and I'm even surprised that he had a Tesla car he used personally and I don't know what has stopped him from accessing Elon Musk. There was a time Elon Musk was ready to meet him in person or is he also a celebrity that want Elon to look for him. I think Elon is overstretching this fight, if he want the fight and really want to have it, this hype should be over by now, he has done enough public awareness, average person on Twitter is aware of this fight, UFC can make preparations for two weeks and with more partnerships, the fight will take place as soon as possible but the more he proponed it, the less it's getting interesting, people might not even watch as he think. Didn't know it was a real personality on tik tok. Thought he was just a guy who happened to look alot like Elon and is chinese. Just like that random photo somebody took of a guy in China sitting outside at a restaurant who looked exactly like him and that went viral asking "Is Elon Musk in China?!" Quite funny along with what Yelon Ma has done and gathering his fame with the attention this guy gets from really dumb things along with amassing a tech empire. Remember when Mark agreed to a August 26th fight? It seemed that Musk backed out due to needing surgery:  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/08/15/zuckerberg-vs-musk-cage-match-when-twitter-x-threads |

^^ And that is exactly why they call him "The Suga Show" because he surely doesn't disappoint in any of his matches. Even in the first loss on his UFC record to Marlon Vera. Sean O'Malley's Damaged Foot EXPLAINED (Sean O'Malley vs Marlon Vera)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5tdgQAZuVYI have always bet on him for any of his matches so this one won't be any different for this weekend. No matter whatever the odds are. Which when I checked them early on Sunday before all the hype with the pre-press conference and weigh-ins happening this week, Sean O'Malley was at 3.00x they are quite high but I will take them even if gets to 2.50x. |

In my opinion, Elon is taking advantage of his popularity since a lot of people watching him. Whatever he do and suggests, people will follow because they believe Elon. Elon is a smart person, and he knows what he is doing. Just like what happened in doge last 2021, the price has exploded because of him. He invested before the price of doge exploded and I'm sure he profited a lot. Because of that, it benefit both of his project and in the community of crypto. In other words, "two birds in one stone".
I whole heartly agree with you there @jeraldskie11 With this battle between the tech giants they have everybody's attention and the world is watching.  https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1691541362079068162If you two are not going to fight.. might just be better to hug it out!   https://twitter.com/ElonMuskAOC/status/1691173592904667139On a serious note, why not fight for a prize of bitcoin or in Elon's case a bag of Doge. |

Just checked the odds and as expected they are in England's favor (not by much). But still, so far home advantage has played a big role (both for New Zealand and Australia). A win by Australia is not likely today, but it is not impossible. First of all, England will have a clear advantage, if the match gets finished within the regulation time. If it goes to extra time, or to penalty shootout, then the chances for Australia are going to increase. During the last match, Australia had won in penalty shootout against France.
Right, England is a favorite to win today but don't forget when Australia beat France through a penalty the situation can change when the end result is 0-0 I'm sure Australia will implement the same strategy to play defensively hoping to continue through penalty while England certainly tries to win at regular time as we know England has an aggressive attack. It's a bit difficult to predict who will win so it's not a good idea to bet on the market 1x2 better bet on total corner kicks. The correct route for this semi-finals match up was the corner kicks market. They are both pressing teams and I believe the count is 6 of them and it is still in the first half. England were the favorites to win this match according to their odds right before kick-off. And they are now leading after a late first half goal to put them up but there is still a full second half to go. I would like to see one of the host nations go on to the finals happening August 20th. |

All this is just a distraction from more important things.
I wouldn't waste any time watching or betting on this fake fight between two elite puppets, for me it is more interesting to watch two dogs barking on each other in street.
And I am not surprised to see Dana White getting involved talking about this because there will be lot of money involved, but I heard Musk is not going to show up for this fight.
Musk seems willing to show up for the fight. He even said he was going to bang on Mark’s door yesterday but Zuckerberg’s team put out a message that Mark wasn’t home. I am interested in this fight because it may be the most watched fight in human history, but I would agree that it is definitely distracting both from more important things. It would be ironical if the most watched fight in human history was not even a battle between two people who are not even professional fighters. By the way, is Elon Musk a neighbor of Mark? Because it would assume so if Mark's team thought it was necessary to answers that he was not home. By the way, I would not be surprised if some people actually think this fight or the rumor of the fight itself is a distraction to keep people eyes away from more serious things, like politics and economy. It sounds surreal we keep talking about this event (that is not even confirmed). This the leaked video of the fight they had (didn't know he had a tarzan tattoo ):  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JiK0LDbJ_D0It is real as this will get when the chinese elon fought a box with the picture of with zucks photo on it.  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Qc0Eht2A5gI |

^ Weili Zhang VS Amanda Lemos both wants to fight in wrestling so this is going to be a ground game for the two. But obviously, Zhang is the stronger one. I couldn't imagine she lost twice against Namajunas.
For Sterling to fight O'Malley, he will stick to his winning strategy to takedown O'Malley and slam him. Not really a fan of both but I prefer Sterling to win over this poddle.
Nice card though. Some familiar names like Marlon Vera, Pedro Munhoz and Weidman.
Funny you say that. Because from the last preview show I watched the predictor of the fight outcomes was just saying this has got to the most uneven match-up on a fight card he has ever seen. He is also predicting all the heavy favorites will win. Since none of the matches are even close for even odds on any of the cards. But we all know that there is one or two sneaky fights that always produce that one acca-killer! |

ralle14 - Great observation on the goal difference fpr the UEFA champions league match happening later on today's Sportsbet Special offered under the ClubhouseTV market, https://sportsbet.io/sports/sportsbet-specials/matches/todayJust woke up and seen the highlights for the semi-finals match in the Womens World Cup between Spain and Sweden. It seemed to be a thrilling one1 They scored 3 goals in the final 10 minutes of the match. The way the EPL went for the majority of the teams over the week, the mens side could learn from the ladies with the prowess of goal scoring during the late stages of the match. Only Manchester City and Newcastle, new sponsors of Sportsbet.io by the way, managed to out score their opponents by more than 3 goals. Brighton match doesn't count since they were playing a newly promoted team to the league. |

Yes danherbias07! I will be going with the upset for the Main Event come this weekend at UFC 292. Good catch on the odds difference for the K.O by Suga Show is a more likely outcome if he does win. Because Aljo is the submission master and that is why they call him Funkmaster Flex. Nice rundown in the bouts on the main card owengtam09! There also has been some rule changes that came out today that recognizes what has happened during the last two UFC Main Events and have addressed these issues within those fights for all bouts going forward: https://www.mmanews.com/news/rule-changes-help-mma-fighters-who-sustain-eye-pokes-illegal-strikesThe big one is this because of how the Sandhagen fight was very boring due to not having some kind of rule put in place to avoid this happening especially during a main event: Separating stalling fightersThe third rule approved codifyies language on referee discretion on when to separate stalling fighters. “Positioning fighters for a restart after a foul warning, physicians examination or a point deduction: “Intention: A fighter should never be allowed to improve their position based on fouling. “When a fighter who is in a disadvantaged position fouls and the referee must stop the action — if it can be reasonably accomplished, the fighters should be returned to their positions after the time is taken for the warning, physician’s examination or point deduction. “When a fighter who is in position of advantage fouls and the referee must stop the action for a warning, physician’s examination or point deduction, the fouling fighter should lose his position of advantage when the bout resumes. |

As I read through the updates on the World Cup, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Philippines is currently in the top 20 of the power rankings. #23 Georgia Georgia (=)
#22 Japan Japan (-8)
#21 Montenegro Montenegro (+4)
#20 Philippines Philippines (+2)
#19 China China (+2)
#18 Puerto Rico Puerto Rico (+2)
#17 New Zealand New Zealand (-1) https://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2023/news/fiba-basketball-world-cup-2023-power-rankings-volume-iiTake a look at the countries ranked closely to them—Japan and China. Although they competed in the FIBA ASIA, I didn't perceive them to be as close during the actual game. As the explanation goes, JC's potential impact on the team might have contributed to their improved ranking. So with thisd development, I am now incline to believe that the Philippines has chance of winning in the first round. The good old power rankings. I'm surprised they put my German team on 5th, even before Canada and Spain(!!!), there must be something wrong, haha. Can't see us beating Spain normally, just with a special performance. Last weekends test matches were really nice. Germany lost by 1 vs Canada, after domination the game and leading by 8 after the 3rd. Spain had a great match vs team USA where they had the lead early in the 4th but then lost by 10. Less than 2 weeks away now I have good hope for the German team. I though we are not ready but seeing the recent games I can say we should definitely get out of the group, maybe even beating Australia on a good day and get 1st place. There is another test match vs team USA, that will be exiting to see as well, a true test of what we are capable of. They started off well and lead 28-22 early in the first half when I watching it. But then fell asleep since it was just a back and forth type style of play. Didn't know Spain is ranked #2 in the world right behind the USA of course since their roster is full of the players from the NBA. They didn't even have their original starting roster when the tournament actually kicks off in 11 days. So Spain only lost by 10 instead of a massive blow-out which I am expecting from USA in the first round. |

Elon Musk has responded to Mark Zuckerberg’s latest post by calling him a chicken. I actually had to double check to make sure this is real. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1690834577219002368It is real. This is seemingly in response to Xuck claiming that Elon is not serious when Elon requested that they spar in Mark’s cage. Mark says Elon isn’t real about fighting, Elon says Mark is a coward… Interesting times. Before this tweet, I thought that Musk was just trolling Zuckerberg in order to show his stupidity (Zuckerberg's big involvement in savage fun), but now I again lost the logical thread by which all this could be connected. It remains only to wait and see how it all ends, because we must see some result - too many preparations have been made. Now Elon has said that he’s knocking on Zuckerberg’s door tomorrow and demanding a fight. This is insanity. Elon is going to end up getting himself arrested. Once again, I had to check to even make sure Elon’s tweet was real. Once again, it is. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1690837333107511298I must say that I love Elon as a troll, but this is starting to feel like bullying to me, which is not really cool. Well, we don't know if this is his tactic to earn more viewers of their potential exhibition fight. Who knows, he's just testing waters here and see what reaction he will get from the public? The tweet is very short and yet, it keeps people discussing about their fight, so yes, he gets the attention here. And yes, a very good troll. Let's see how far he will get into this seemingly bullying tweet towards Zuck. I hope they will finally give us a date so people will have another entertainment to look forward to. This has gone viral and there are people who don't like violence wanting to see these two fight anyways. If for their vanity or known for their enormous egos, who knows. But it is appealing towards even non-mma fans because it seems to be just an endless troll job by both parties at this point. With their photo ops surrounded by top fighters from the biggest organization in this sport the UFC who are so called training them. Here is the full length trail of texts so far from both Zuckerberg & Elon Musk since the whole I'll bring the fight to your door on Monday announcement: Was this how it started? It appears Elon wants to go in Zuckerburg's gym and challenge him there, very much similar to those very old kungfu movies hehehehe. This is a screenshot of a text exchange between them. It is not confirmed to be from Elon or Zuck, however. It might be fake.  To have the fight outside of the UFC, Elon can say that he will not support people who slap their wives in public   https://twitter.com/btc_dan/status/1690711236252438530 |
